Vienna

“Vienna” by Billy Joel is one of my favorite songs of all time and lately, as I write A Pocketful of Poppies, I imagine it being a theme song of sorts for Poppy Sheppard. I found this video on YouTube of the vinyl playing, which is perfect because I prefer vinyl, so please listen below and let me know what you think. Do you have any song suggestions for Justin or perhaps a song suggestion for the couple? Just leave me a comment. You know I love getting music suggestions.

I hope everyone has had a fantastic Monday and I just want to thank everyone for the warm responses I have been getting for A Pocketful of Poppies and When Night is Almost Done. I hope you all know just how amazing you are and how much I appreciate and adore every single one of you.

Hey Kate!

I hope you had a fantastic Monday. It's almost Tuesday here. I didn't have to work that hard today so it was all good. I really love this song by Billy Joel. The lyrics are very meaningful to me. I use to think it was my song, but I'll share it with Poppy, haha. As of right now I can't think of any songs but when I do I'll post again.

Not sure if this genre of music is quite your cup of tea, but I've thought of Poppy & Justin the last few times I've heard this song. It's called "Whatever It Takes" by Lifehouse. It's kind of alternative rock, but it's still a really cool song and the lyrics are really fitting in my opinion. Check it out if you want. :)

You may not have heard of or like this song, but I think Nature's Law by a British band called Embrace would be perfect for Justin and Poppy.

Here's the lyrics, and also try and listen to the song on YouTube because its amazing:

I tried to fight the feeling, the feeling took me downI struggle and I lost the day you knocked me outNow everything's got meaning, the meanings bring me downI'm watching as a screening of my life plays out

Every day I fight these feelingsFor your sake I will hide the real thingYou can run all your life, all mine I will chase

You should never fight your feelingsWhen your very bones believe themYou should never fight your feelingsYou have to follow natures law

I'll live with never knowing, if knowings gonna changeI'll stop a feeling growing, I will stay awayLike a broken record, stuck before a songA million beginnings, none of them the one

Every day I fight these feelingsFor your sake I will hide the real thingYou can run all your life, all mine I will chase

You should never fight your feelingsWhen your very bones believe themYou should never fight your feelingsYou have to follow natures law

I wrote her letters and tried to send themIn a bottle I place my hopeAn S.O.S full of good intentions sinkingWill you give it to me, don't make me waitYou built me up, knocked me downBut I will stand my groundAnd guard this light that I've found

Hey,I really love Billy Joel as a theme song for Poppy and Justin. Also, there is the band Wilco. They have a plethora of songs that I think fit the couple so well. I can't even name just one. They all relate to the story in some way. You should give them a listen. Their songs are so nice and they have a nice feel to them. I just wanted to throw them out there. All of these other songs are so great too!~Michelle

The story is on Fanfiction.net under the Twilight category. It is still up. I feel a little bad because in her profile, she says that she is only 13 but she needs to learn not to do this. I hate feeling like a bitch though.

Hi Kate i am really sorry to hear about this. As this has happened to me before and i know how you feel i have reported the girl on FIction.net. i hoe that this will be dealt with. also dont feel bad at 13 she should know the concequences of stealing and the difference between right and wrong. Please keep updating whn this is over!!Rachel

I am so sorry that it happened to you. I was searching for this author and I did. You're not gonna believe how many people are sticking beside you throughout this whole thing. I hope that someday, you will continue and we all love you so much!!

Hi Kate just thught that you would want to know that i think that the story has been deleted or taken down. several people (including me) complained and now the story has been removed. Please dont stop updating i love this story!Rachel
